Practical approach

When do you add metadata?

In order to prevent important information becoming lost, it is best to add metadata to a digital photo file as soon as possible. Archiving digital images presents a good opportunity to check what metadata are already embedded with the image and what information you still need to describe the image further (see also the Create an access pass and describe your archive article). Images that originate from a digital source mostly already contain embedded (technical) metadata, which can be expanded with details about the content. Technical metadata for digital photos are usually created automatically and only need to be verified, but you need to add metadata about the content yourself.
